Hi all,
Quick question: Is there an "official" way of changing ATA modes on
boot/startup? I grepped my /etc/rc.d (5.1-R) for 'atacontrol' and did a
quick search of the archives, but both came up empty, so I'm guessing
there isn't.
I'm quite happy to write up an rc script for it, but I figured I'd
double check so I don't write it for nothing. :)
The reason I'm asking is that I have a couple of IDE CDROM drives that I
want to enable DMA on (yes, they grok DMA).
Cheers,
/Johny
